"The Day the Earth Stood Still" is an excerpt. It surely is. And it also has a real meaning even more.

Bernard Herrmann's music is simply beautiful—the best science fiction score yet. Herrmann, more famous for his work on *Rogue One*, has also made it lacking in other science fiction films that

Although the characters are flimsy stereotypes, and much of the dialogue is maudlin, Michael Rennie's portrayal of Khalisu is almost perfect. Rennie has always been a man with anger and his sane, cool manner truly makes him seem superior to lowly Earthlings.
We are even exposed to bit of alien language. For the trivia buffs among you, the words spoken by Patricia Neal to Gort are, "Gort. Klaatu barada nikta."
If you ever run into an eight-foot metal robot that is armed with a death ray, just say those words. They'll probably work. I hope.

KU grad hurls cow chip to victory, world record

A green cow chip was all a recent graduate of the University of Kansas School of Law needed to become the Kansas state champion cow chip throuher.
A green cow chip, explains Dan Watkins, sworn in as a member of the Kansas Bar Association Friday, is one that is relatively new to the industry. A man with an old chip, which has dried out, he said.
This knowledge of cow chips was one of the first things that hurt the winning cow chip 184 feet said,
The cow chip throwing contest, part of the Old Settlers Day festivities in Russell Springs during the Labor Day weekend, was the first he had participated in, Watkins
In fact, Watkins said this was the first time he ever had thrown a cow chin.
"My father in law entered me and my wife in the contest, so we decided to try our hand at it."
"I was about the 12th one to throw in my division, and I learned what kind of chip would be the best after watching the other people throw." Watkins said.
Watkins explained the contest had three divisions: men, women, and VIP. Gov. Robert Bennett, several state senators and representatives, said they threw chips in the VIP division, he said.
He said contestants selected chips from the back of a pick-up truck filled with an excellent variety of cow chips. Cows chip bars were weighed at least six inches in diameter, he said.
people threw the chips like Fridays, in salads, and others threw the chips like discasses.
"I decided to throw mine like a baseball," he said.
Each contestant had two throws, and the chips were thrown on a field marked much like a discus field, according to Watkins. "I picked a round, green cow chin just
about *sx* inches in diameter," Watkins said, "I just threw it as far as I could."
"They should know," Watkins said. "After all, Russell Springs, (19 miles from Oakley) has been declared the cow chip establishment" the world by the state legislature."
Watkins wife, Phyllis, placed third in the women's division.
His 184 feet toss might be a world record, Watkins said. A newspaper story in the Oakley Graphic said Watkin's toss was a world record.
"her first throw in the crowd," Watkins said. "They said it was a strange killer."
Watkins said he was considering entering the national cow chip throwing contest in Beaver, Okla., but hadn't decided if he would enter.
Dykes attends national council
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes discussed educational priorities last Thursday and Friday at a quarterly meeting of the University of Washington Professions' Development in Washington.
"The main purpose of the meeting was to establish priorities for the coming year." Dykes said yesterday. "We discussed legislation related to higher education and a number of specific projects for which the council's advice had been requested."
Dykes told the council was created by Congress to advise Congress and the President on various programs "to develop more appropriately the education professions in the United States consistent with national needs and interests."
Dykes is the only university chancellor on the 14-member council, which includes businessmen, professors and the wife of Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb.
